Hello,
I am happily using LVM over iSCSI (file extents), however I have the need of creating a full clone of the drive (virtio0) over a NFS share. I can do this from the GUI with "move disk" and selecting the NFS share, w/out checking "delete source". This does create a .raw file which is a clone of my VM. However, I wonder if I can automate this process from CLI. Can somebody help me out?
